22oz bottle @Suttree’s Nothing else to do TN Gathering. Thanks decaturstevo-pours a dissipating light tan head and amber color. Aroma is sweet medium malt-molasses, secondary pine hops. Taste is sweet medium malt-molasses, secondary pine/cedar hops bite. [Same as Suttree, I wouldn’t have guessed DB, my thoughts went to ASA.]

22 fl oz bottle as Hebrew Blockhead. Pours hazy dark orange with a small tan head. Aroma is mild fruity and hoppy. Bitter and dry initial impression. Smooth malty base and mild malty towards vague metallic note into the finish. Good.

Draught at Barcade, New York
Brown color, quite dark. The aroma is lightly Madeirised. Good caramel flavor, too much oxidisation and alcohol, nutty too; strong ending bitterness, maybe too much. A bit chaotic for me.

bottle - Pours clear amber with an off-white head. Aroma is mostly caramel malt and some alcohol with a touch of dark fruit. This strong flavored brew has sweet caramel malt, some woody notes, alcohol, and a hint of fruit in the background all balanced out by some hops bitterness that lingers moderately strong in the finish. Calling it a doppelbock might be as close as one can get to the style, but don’t expect a typical doppelbock. It’s definitely not to style. There’s too much hops and too much that makes me think barley wine. The Coney Island label seems to be dedicated to creative, experimental lagers, which hardly anyone is doing, so good for them. It works.

Bottle. Pours a rusty amber with an off-white head. Aroma is malty with a lesser note of hops. Flavor starts with sweet malts and ends with a bit of hops. There is a touch of alcohol but the beer actually does a quite good job with the 10% ABV.

Pours a clear mahogany with an average-sized tn head. Sweet malt aroma. Nice sweet start but it’s surprisingly bitter on the backside for a Doppelbock. I’d like this with a bit more body to it.

Pours clear copper color with tan head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of toasty malts, brown sugar and alcohol. Sweet malt flavor with a good dose of hops and alcohol. Medium body with minimal carbonation and a syrupy mouthfeel.

How about the name of this stuf: Coney Island Human Blockhead! Rude looking neck label: arouse yer lickwid curiousities, amaze yer oral sensibilities and induldge yer inner beer freak! Smell is a little fumey when I pop the lid on this bomber. Deep red orange hues in my beer glass, filtered. Sparkling with an ever restoring thin tea froth creamy head. Quite malty strong. Needs manners. Medicinal at times, wew. Quite a kick for a dopple, probably should be a trippelbock. Yep, you know there is alky in this, feels like 12%. Oppressive finish.
